The foot is a very complex structure that is composed of 26 bones that must work together with
the ankle joint to maintain strength, stability and motion. The complex structure of the ankle
consists of a web of ligaments, muscles and tendons that surround the ankle joint and very
tough muscle at the bottom of the foot to help with weight bearing. Ankle and foot injuries
maybe chronic and are usually complicated due to the constant activity and lack of rest the
ankle and foot must endure.
